Features: The author is one of the outstanding thinkers of the German working class in the 19th century. He strongly detested the capitalist system and advocated a thorough social revolution. His ideas contained a considerable amount of utopianism. Engels, in the preface to the 1888 English edition of The Communist Manifesto, pointed out that Weitling's communist ideas were "still rather crude, in need of refinement, and purely instinctive communism." This book is the author's main work, and Marx and Engels held it in high regard. The preface includes an editor's introduction that evaluates the original work.
